I signed up using my university .edu address which was used earlier for 1 year free prime. Still worked. I would advise changin email id of the account (expired prime) to other email (gmail ymail etc...) then try the link.

Please make it a hot deal... BTW if it does not work for you... Then do something like this,, thats what I did..

1) Change your current expired .edu email from Amazon prime to other email like gmail ymail etc..2) then click on http://www.amazon.com/gp/student/signup/info?ie=UTF8&refcust=JGL... like link... 3) Now it will ask you to log in.. 4) Once logged in on next screen you will be asked to put your .edu id .. and a bunch of info crap.. 5) Just do it and TAAAADAAAAAAAA you get your prime activated... for next 6 months..

Hope this work around works for you guys... !! cheers

Tried this and still doesn't work.

I dont know how but it worked for me.. Can you try signing up a whole new account using gmail? and use that to log in and then use your .edu email address to convert it to prime..

I just renewed my prime subscription. Does that make me ineligible for these student and mommy freebie subscriptions? Also do these freebies include prime free movie streaming?

Did it work for you guys? One thing I remember . I had actually 2 accounts.. one from my gmail and one from my .edu mail. my .edu expired few months back. I used this promotion link for my gmail account. And it asked me to add .edu address. Now I still log in using my gmail account. but get benefits of prime.!! I dont know how this is happening but yeah it has happened.

Oh Geezus. You don't know "how this is happening"? Really? It's a pretty simple concept. The .edu address is attached to the account. So you setup an account using the .edu and got your free time. And recently you used a separate account to add the same .edu address and got it free again. Is any of this explanation helping? If not, maybe you need to draw up a map and make it visual?
